Who has touching pebbles privileges?

These fools, of course! When he's up for it at least.

honestly I encourage everyone to get comfortable opening up their electronics. game consoles. computers. phones. keyboards. headphones. whatever. like obviously don't start with the most difficult thing to open up and don't just mindlessly pop open something and lose all the screws and don't do it while its on. but get comfortable looking inside your stuff yourself

its not hard to open up most electronics that don't have an apple logo on them (and even a lot of those are easier than you'd think) and it DOES NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

Companies will try to scare you from learning how to care for your own stuff because they get money that way. Warranty stickers are technically illegal in the US but just isn't enforced, and a company can't actually void your warranty if you repair something yourself, so long as you don't break something else in the process.

like I look at threads all the time where people express fear about just opening up a console and looking at the internals to see which version they have but don't be! its easy, its safe, its free! get comfortable with your electronics and learn how to clean and repair stuff yourself, it isn't scary, companies just want you to think it is!

maybe I should stop joking that I'm 94 in my bio.

too many teenagers and 20 year olds who genuinely think someone born in 1930 uses Tumblr of all sites.

maybe they'd have an intern running an account on Twitter or Facebook or some shit, but Tumblr?

I'm 93, guys.

I knew from the start that today was always going to be rough, because conspiracy man was going to shit talk about the election

ended up being worst than I thought

I'm just... appalled. Like. I try to avoid getting into political talks at work because especially with the work culture where I am, it's just asking for troubles to argue with people. But I was so fucking angry with what I heard that I had to react. I'm half glad that I did (maybe NOW that guy and his asshole friend will stop talking so freely around me???) and half wishing I hadn't.

I was just shaking after they left. Literally fucking shaking from nerves and rage. Pure rage.

I heard them say a bunch of bullshit, but the worst one had to be "whether the far right or the left one, it doesn't really make a difference in the end"

I spent a month worried for myself, worried for people I love, worried for many strangers I have never met. And this man. This white, middle aged, middle class, straight man. Had the audacity. In my presence. To say that both sides are the same.

Humans Never Return AU part 2:

-okay through discussion with @dinas-bracelet we’ve decided Norm “Icon” Spellman would go through the Olangi iknimaya process, because he is so canonically connected to that clan. It got me thinking a little bit about the clan absorption process and the culture mixing melting pot the Omaticaya/Scientists/Olangi conglomerate would become oh my god.

-The Olangi are nomads, they are Pa’li riders who traverse the plains and move from place to place. No doubt their experience in temporary shelters was invaluable in building the village the Omaticaya lived in before the move to the new Hometree. 

-The adjustment for the survivors to becoming sedentary had to have been so hard, so I imagine they went on a lot of scouting trips with Jake’s taronyu to pick a new Hometree. 

-I like to think they have a representative, like a guy who’s their guy who represents Olangi specific interests in the clan, because it’s a HUGE adjustment to go from nomads on the plains to the forest. I’m picturing some grizzled warrior who was very injured during the battle, but he lived and after he recovered he stalks around all grumpy but super helpful. I would imagine Jake consults that guy a lot; they become besties after so much time discussing what’s bet for the clans and how to merge properly. Also that is Norm’s soulmate. Norm stalks that man, following him around for info and advice, ESPECIALLY on how to raise all 1000 of his adopted children. He can’t run fast enough to get away from Norm, so he’s forced to help him. They’re coparenting a little. 

-Oh this is my new headcanon, Tuk’s bestie Popiti is an Olangi kid. Love the idea of her being Norm’s kid, but that doesn’t make sense time-wise. 

-Norm and Spider move with the Omaticaya to the new Hometree! Sorry I don’t make the rules! They have a smaller little scientist village there.

-Also the amount of political and cultural sharing trips they go on? Crazy. Norm and the former nomad Olangi are a dangerous combo. Norm “I Will never go back to my planet and stay on this one I can’t breathe on and raise alien children” Spellman is not satisfied with just Omaticaya culture and botany in a peaceful non war world. The Olangi who want to roam a little and Norm take hella fucking trips to other clans; they visit to learn and to study and to build relationships with other clans. Kiri, Spider, and Lo’ak love going on these trips. 

-Jake’s got so fucking many evil plans going on. Last post I said he and Neteyam are trying to trick Lo’ak into helping with training the younger warriors and Jake’s ulterior motive is for them to share the burden when he ultimately passes. BUT he and Lo’ak are also trying to trick Neteyam into chilling the fuck out a little at the same time. How many other evil plans does Jake have going? Maybe one to set up Norm. 

-Ever since Lo’ak, Kiri, and Neteyam got their ikran (this would be pre Eywa blessed Spider, I want him to be fully accepted and happy pre that) Spider has become an expert at taking care of them. He’s been there with them every step of the way, and their ikran like him and trust him almost as much as they do their own riders. Neytiri sees this as a way to talk to Spider, something that hasn’t happened since he got sick and their relationship changed. She asks Spider to care for her ikran for the day because she’s busy with something. Kid has never been more serious about anything in his entire fucking life. They begin to communicate like fully in ikran speak. 

Neytiri: how was she today? (also meaning him)

Spider: she was good! She ate well, and Lo’ak and I gave her and a couple others teeth checks. (telling her he’s good and about his day.)

Neytiri: thank you. Does she need to go flying? (can I take you flying to thank you?)

-Spider makes her another beautiful bracelet to thank her for trusting him. It’s the colors of her ikran and he leaves it in a saddle pocket for her to find. Once she does she starts wearing it right away. He totally notices this time as well.

Don’t worry, the Metkayina political visit one and the locorro sprinkle ad ons of this au will be coming.

Okay so I live in a very technically advanced family, the newest computers, phones, headphones... But I'm very 2007 with my technology style (if I could bring my iPod to school to listen to music without being bullied I would). For the first time in 4 years I've had plug in headphones rather than air pods or Google buds and omg they are just so much better! Never going back! Bring back headphones Jack!!
